Central Chapelle hosts conferences, trade shows, seminars, networking events and company evenings for up to 1,800 guests when the whole 3,500 m² venue is booked. Smaller groups can take a single space, from the Central Café for 40 to 60 to the Court Central food court for 590. The venue opened in spring 2026 at 4 esplanade Alice Milliat, at Porte de la Chapelle in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.
Seminars and company events
The privatization team sells the whole building or each space on its own. The Central Café suits meetings, workshops and small seminars, and can also be turned into a pop-up shop. The concert and club hall, with its stage and floor-to-ceiling windows, takes conferences, talks, team-building sessions, cocktail dinners and parties. The Court Central handles networking, cocktails and afterworks, and opens directly onto the south terrace.
A typical company day can run a plenary in the concert hall, lunch at the food court counters and an evening on the north terrace. The building is accessible to guests with reduced mobility, with an elevator serving every space.

Catering
Food is a core part of the venue. Central Chapelle is run by the music company Allo Floride with Collé Braisé, a caterer known for seasonal cooking between street food and bistro fare, which is a regular partner of event producers. The Court Central has four street food counters run by chefs, and the venue lists five bars: Bar Central, the bars of the north and south terraces, the concert hall bar and the Central Café counter. Ask the team how the counters and bars are set up for a private event.
History and setting
The project took shape around the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, as an allegory of sporting values told through food and music. The design is by Faar Architecture: a floor fresco inspired by a sports court marks out each area, with simple forms, warm tones and plenty of light. The building follows a low-carbon approach down to the choice of furniture and materials.
Allo Floride, active since 2012, produces tours for around a hundred electro and hip-hop artists and has opened venues such as Ground Control, Dock B and Sacré. Central Chapelle is connected to the Adidas Arena by an indoor corridor and runs its own program of concerts, club nights, exhibitions, sport classes and chef residencies.
